The U.S. Small Business Administration released a one-page form that aims to simplify the application process to forgive Paycheck Protection Program loans, together with revised and updated forms to conform to the requirements of the latest stimulus legislation.
Congress approved the COVID-19 relief package in the month of March, which included $284 billion of financing to small businesses that needed loans. This money was used to mitigate the economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic. The legislation required that the SBA provide simplified forms within the first 24 hours after the bill’s passage into law. This was done to simplify the process of applying for forgiveness. Additionally, it included conditions to encourage community banks to make more loans specifically to minority-owned companies who had a difficult time getting loans last year.
Ed Zollars, a partner with Thomas, Zollars & Lynch CPAs wrote that the Small Business Administration fulfilled the requirement to issue the PPP form, which is one page long, for loan forgiveness within 24 days of the date of the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 20,21. The article was posted on the Current Federal Tax Developments blog of Kaplan Financial Education. “The agency also issued new forms.”
